Field notes

The method keeps familiar text around newly introduced language, allowing readers to infer meaning from the surrounding story and reveal a gloss when needed. Textavera describes a progression from small substitutions to larger phrases as vocabulary becomes familiar, with selectable A1–B2 starting levels and adjustable pace. Its FAQ explicitly limits the claim: related learning principles are well studied, but research on diglot weaving itself is more limited.
